Chapter 17: Continuing to Deepen
"Dead?" Cao Yuchen suddenly grew his mouth in shock: "How is it possible, wasn't the fat man good just now? How could he suddenly ......?"
Chen Yulu was very shocked when she heard this, and even her eyes were red, looking at Cui Jingxi, she felt like she was about to cry.
"We were walking well, and we were about to get to the exit. Cui Jingxi said bitterly: "But suddenly a trap appeared on the ground, and the fat man fell, and then we only heard a scream, and then I looked down, but I didn't see anything." ”
"Then what's the matter with the blood stains on your ~~ body?" After the last incident, I obviously matured a lot, and then quickly calmed down.
"When we saw that the fat man was killed, we moved on. Cui Jingxi said, and then his expression suddenly became hideous, as if he thought of some terrifying existence, and his body trembled slightly. And Xiao Yixuan and his girlfriend in the distance are the same.
"We continued to walk, and after a short walk, we heard a sound similar to that of a monkey. But we didn't care at the time, and we continued to move on numbly. Cui Jingxi said bitterly: "Suddenly, we were attacked. Attacked by a group of creatures that I don't know what kind of creatures they were. They probably only have ......"
"Baby. Xiao Yixuan suddenly added. "I was scratched on the arm, so I could see very clearly, they were the size of human babies, but with great strength, and he hit them with a lot of stones before he could kill one, and he was seriously injured himself. ”
"It's a ghost baby. I sighed, scratched my hair, and said, "I've seen something like this in our ancestral home." These ghost babies are all babies who died within ten months, or those abandoned babies who were beaten out, and they have a lot of resentment, plus the yin qi here is very heavy, so it is formed. ”
"But strangely. Why are there ghost babies here?"
"Brother Ye, do you say that it is possible that people were martyred?" Cao Yuchen suddenly said, "If this is the case, then it makes sense, those who were forced to be martyred, in addition to the palace maids and eunuchs, there may be some princes and nobles, princes and generals." In this desperate environment, you will definitely go crazy, so there will be some messy relationships, and then it will be possible to have these children. ”
Human martyrdom is the custom of burial with living people in ancient funerals, which is a cruel and barbaric behavior, and there is no specific implementation standard for how many people are martyred each time, but there is a general idea. Mozi once said that after the death of the Son of Heaven, the number of martyrs reached hundreds, and the number of martyrs reached dozens or tens, and the number of martyrs at the level of the commander and doctor was dozens and few.
It appeared at the end of primitive society, prevailed in the era of slavery, began to decline in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and basically disappeared after the Han Dynasty. Human martyrdom refers to the use of living people to bury dead clan leaders, parents, and feudal lords. Most of the martyrs were close relatives, close ministers, close attendants, and prisoners of the deceased. In the era of class division, human martyrdom became a widely popular ancient funeral ritual. The main reason for this phenomenon was that due to the increase in productivity, the development of commodity exchange and the emergence of private ownership at that time, this series of changes caused a class division within the clan. Therefore, the emergence of this primitive religious practice is closely related to the emergence of private ownership.
"That'...... No, their food won't last long. Chen Yulu suddenly asked: "It takes at least ten months to give birth to a baby, and if you are born prematurely, it will take eight months, nine months, I haven't heard of anyone who has to bring eight or nine months of food for a funeral." ”
"Maybe ......" I suddenly raised my head, squinted my eyes, and looked at the wall in the distance: "They will eat each other." ”
"That ......" Cui Jingxi said suddenly, he staggered to his feet against the wall, "I'll interrupt." Regardless of whether these ghosts are ghosts or not, whether they are human or not, what should we do? Do you go back the way you took Yuchen, or continue to go forward.
"Let's go back. Xiao Yixuan said suddenly, "I don't think there is any point in going any further." And it could die. ”
"I support. Cui Jingxi's legs were still a little trembling, and it seemed that everything he had experienced before scared him: "The fat man is dead, and I don't want to be sacrificed." ”
"Guide Ye, what do you think?" Cao Yuchen suddenly looked at me and said, hearing Cao Yuchen say this, Chen Yulu also looked at me.
"I think that since we have reached this point, we should move forward. Maybe there's something to be gained. When I got to this point, I went back, and to be honest, I was not reconciled. After a pause, I continued, "As for the danger, be careful, you should be able to ......."
"How to avoid TM?" Xiao Yixuan suddenly became excited: "Do you know the fat man? He walked well in front of me, and suddenly TM was gone, there was a big hole in the ground, and the trap was below, how do you say to avoid it?"
"If you want to accompany him to go crazy, just go, the old lady will not accompany him. Xiao Yixuan's girlfriend also said it, then glanced at each other, and walked towards the passage where the three of us came.
Choi Kyung-hee looked at us, said sorry, and followed the two of them out.
"As for you, go out too. I stood up and patted the dust off my body: "Even I can't guarantee that I will be able to get out, so you guys should go out safely." ”
"I want to go in. Cao Yuchen said: "After all, I am from an archaeological background, so I can help you somewhat." Chen Yulu also stood up, staggering, and didn't seem to want to leave like this.
"Or, so be it. After thinking about it for a while, I said, "I'll take Brother Cao in, Sister Chen, you go out and guard the entrance of the cave, we can be considered to have a care, what do you think?"
They thought about it and finally agreed. So in the end, I told Wan Chen Yulu to be careful, and I took Cao Yuchen to continue forward.
There was only one hole in the road ahead, and it was very narrow when I first walked in, but then it became wider and wider, so I let the yellow ghost out and asked him to be on guard all around. Under my adoption, the Yellow Ghost has cultivated to reach the peak of the Yellow Ghost, and it is possible to break through at any time and reach the vigilance of the Green Ghost.
Although I'm not a ghost cultivator, there are more or less things about raising ghosts in the Great Universiade, so helping Yellow Ghosts improve their cultivation is not a problem for me.
I let the yellow ghost materialize and go ahead to explore the way. Because with the strength of the yellow ghost, in some places where the yin qi is heavy, it can already be materialized for a short time.
Cao Yuchen seemed to be convinced by me, and he seemed to be only slightly surprised when he saw this extra person, and then nodded at me.
"Be careful. Master, there are ghost babies. The yellow ghost who was walking in front suddenly turned around and reminded me to speak. Then I saw a dark shadow rushing towards me.
"Get out. "The yellow ghost wanted to intercept it, but reminded me that I had wasted his time, so the ghost baby flew towards me anyway. I let out a loud shout, pulled Cao Yuchen behind me, and then instantly used my true qi to ignite a ghost suppression talisman and threw it at the ghost baby.
"Boom~~"
There was a violent collision, a roar, and then the ghost baby was reduced to ashes in a cloud of devastating yellow flames.
"Ye~~ brother, what are you ~~~~?" Cao Yuchen seemed to be frightened by me, and looked at me and stammered.
"Brother Cao, this is ......" I just wanted to explain, but I was interrupted by the yellow ghost, and he shouted anxiously: "Master, we ...... Surrounded, all around, all around are ghost babies!"
"Brother Cao, this is for you. I turned around and found the Xuantie Sword that I had specially found from my grandfather's relics on the day of departure, and handed it to Cao Yuchen: "It's too late to explain." You use this sword to defend yourself, the ghost babies are so difficult to kill, because the ghost energy on their bodies is too heavy, but this sword can just be restrained. ”
Before I finished speaking, several ghost babies rushed towards me, I pulled Cao Yuchen behind me, and then gathered my true qi until I was injured, and then pounced out: "Turn the sky upside down!"
